Camomile and Honey Gin Spritz

teas.co.uk · 10 min plus chilling · Makes 2 long drinks

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Tropical Sun Calm
• 200ml freshly boiled water (100C)
• 1 teaspoon honey, to balance
• 50ml gin (25ml per glass)
• Chilled soda water, to top
• Lemon slices and plenty of ice

Method

1. Give the 2 tea bags of camomile 5 minutes in the boiled water, lift them out, and stir the honey into the warm camomile.
2. Leave the tea to cool, then chill it well.
3. Pack two tall glasses with ice, then split the chilled camomile tea and the gin across them.
4. Top each glass with chilled soda water and stir once.
5. Top each camomile spritz with lemon slices and serve at once. One glass each.
6. A floral gin works better here than a juniper forward London Dry; try an elderflower or rose gin, which deepens the camomile note rather than competing with it.
